It's been another crazy week for me as I try to wrap up my semester, continue my recovery from surgery and deal with all the things that come up for homeowners when the weather warms up (and your side yard is a muddy mess).
Tomorrow I'll be participating in The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure with my school team and a good friend. It should be a fun, albeit circuslike, atmosphere. Our plan is to hop on public transportation after the event to seek out quality beer at my favorite Scottish Pub in the Arts District. We'll have well-deserved great weather, as we have today, so a big event and a special excursion should be quite the ticket!!
Last weekend's crummy weather wasn't great for having a canine houseguest, and I'm sure if you polled Olive, she'd vote for another playdate this weekend, too. My neighbors also just adopted an adorable Sheltie Mix puppy, so there is a lot of running the fence, bouncing and barking going on when I'm home and the dogs are both out. As long as Neighbor Puppy is home and the weather is nice, I should be outside all day Sunday with Olive. Actually drawing outside will be a welcome change, plus I still have to address the mess in the yard (and the fact that my air conditioning unit that plunged into the trench a few weeks back now sits a good 18 inches lower than it did before).
By this time next week, my classes will be over and I'll only be waiting for my final grades. I'm confident about them right now, but you never know. Subjective grading can sometimes bite you on the arse. I am treating myself for the successful completion of the academic term by going to see George Carlin, who said this:
"I often think how different the world would be if Hitler had not been turned down when he applied to art school."
That rings true for me on so many levels, George.
